The Croma Black Friday sale has unexpectedly turned Apple’s premium MacBook Air M4 closer to the mid-range Windows category. A device that launched earlier this year at close to Rs. 1 lakh is now available for almost half its original price when bank discounts and exchange bonuses are stacked.
The sale has opened a rare window for students, creators, and first-time Mac buyers to get into the Apple ecosystem at a considerably lower cost.
Apple launched the MacBook Air M4 in India at Rs. 99,900. The price goes down to Rs. 88,911 instantly during Croma’s Black Friday offer under the retailer’s student-teacher discount scheme. Buyers with certain bank cards can claim an extra instant discount of Rs. 10,000.
The exchange offer adds the last piece to this discounting puzzle. Croma is offering a flat Rs. 10,000 exchange bonus over and above up to Rs. 13,000 that your old laptop may fetch based on make and condition.
With all benefits applied, the effective price comes down to Rs. 55,911, a dramatic price shift that places the MacBook Air M4 in the same territory as mid-range Windows ultrabooks. The offer is valid till November 30 across Croma’s online and offline stores.
The M4 version carries over the elegant aluminum design of Apple and the low-weight profile, which is perfect for students and people who travel frequently. The connectivity options comprise a pair of Thunderbolt 4 ports, a MagSafe charging connector, and a headphone jack with a 3.5 mm diameter.
The MagSafe magnetic breakaway feature provides additional protection in busy places like libraries or coffeehouses, where the risk of accidents is higher with the use of regular chargers.
The Air is optimally capable of handling daily tasks without any hiccups, thanks to Apple’s M4 chip that drives the whole process. Everything from basic browsing and assignments to video calls and multiple apps open at once runs smoothly. Light creative workloads, such as photo editing and casual video projects, operate quietly thanks to Apple’s fanless design.

Liquid Retina has been praised as potentially perfect, thanks to its 13.6-inch screen, narrow bezels, True Tone, 120Hz ProMotion, and an impressive P3 color gamut. While it is not an OLED panel, brightness and clarity are still very impressive, whether indoors or outdoors.
Battery life is another strong point: the MacBook Air M4 can comfortably deliver over 10 hours of real-world use, making it suitable for long college days or travel-heavy schedules.
Priced at Rs. 55,911, the MacBook Air M4 is now in a bracket where Apple laptops rarely contest. This offer brings together the best of both worlds in terms of value and performance. For users who need high performance on a low budget, this deal is perfect.
With offers ending soon, buyers are asking if this is the most strategic time yet to transition to iOS-based devices.
